I was a bit anxious about my English, so I requested a consent form in advance, filled it out, and brought it with me. We were the only Japanese participants, and the guide spoke entirely in English, but I understood the instructions, and even those who are not good at English can manage if they enjoy the activities. I also got along well with the other participants. After the tour, there was a photo sale, like at Disneyland attractions, and if there's one thing I regret now, it's not buying those photos.
英語に不安があったので、事前に同意書を送ってもらい、記入して持参しました。日本人は私たちのみ、ガイドもオール英語でしたが、指示はわかりましたし、英語が苦手な方もアクティビティが好きならどうにかなります。一緒に参加した方たちとも仲良くなりましたよ。ツアー終了後はディズニーランドのアトラクションのように写真販売もあって、今、後悔していることがあるとすれば、その写真を買わなかったことです。

This company was professional and went out of their way to make sure that everything was in place to make our trip first class. From calling the day before to confirm with us on meeting location and time to hot brownies at the end of the tour. Everything was great and the guide took the time to get to know us so she could make our experience the best it could be.

We participated as a family of three, including our 6-year-old son, starting from Hilo. We drove from our accommodation in Waikoloa to Hilo with a rental car. The roads were good, and we enjoyed the journey!
Since this was a rare opportunity, we booked a tour to see volcanic activity, and we were able to see the crater up close, even more than we had imagined.
The guidance was in English, but the pilot provided detailed explanations about the local area and its features. The piloting was impressive and gave us a sense of security.
There was a one-hour delay due to a mechanical issue, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
6歳男児を含めた家族3人で、ヒロ発で参加しました。※宿泊先のワイコロアからヒロにレンタカーで移動しました。道もよく、道中も楽しめました♪
滅多にない機会なので、火山活動が見られるコースを予約しましたが、想像以上に間近で噴火口がみることができました。
英語での案内でしたが、操縦士の方が現地の方の様子など丁寧に説明して下さいました。また、その操縦も見事で、安心感のあるものでした。
機体故障で1時間の遅延となりましたが、とても良い体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated on the first night after arriving on the Big Island. Even though the encounter rate is 99%, I was worried that I might not see any... but that was not the case!! A total of nearly six manta rays appeared, showing their bellies while feeding. They came so close that it felt like I could touch them, and it was an amazing sight. The guide was also very kind and attentive, and I had a truly wonderful time. Next time I come to the Big Island, I would like to participate in the manta ray experience again.

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.
Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

I was super hesitant to book this tour and unsure if it was worth the money at first. I finally decided, when am I ever going to get a chance to see an active volcano again? I am soooo glad I booked it. The captain and crew on this boat were absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful to the seasick. The ride alone was a great time, the sunrise was amazing, and I was completely awe-struck at how close we rode to the lava and how long we stayed there to enjoy it.
I will highly recommend dramamine the night before and morning of as the ride out is a little rough. The crew is more than upfrint about this and super helpful if you do get sick. This review is coming from someone who gets extremely sea sick and threw up the entire ride back,
and I still would go again and think it was worth every penny. Beats a helicoptor tour by a million for the experience and cost!

I have done dolphin snorkeling in places like Honolulu, Guam, and the Ogasawara Islands, but this was the first time I encountered so many dolphins. In the early morning, the water was very clear, and I could see dolphins from a distance, but after a while, the water became murky, making it a bit difficult to find them even when they said, "There are dolphins!" However, I got to see baby dolphins and a lot of dolphin jumps, which made me very satisfied. There was someone in the tour who was free diving, and I was really envious of them. When we were leaving, the captain sped off at an incredible speed, so be careful! (laughs)

The meeting is at 15:30, and it takes about four hours in a relaxed manner. I didn't expect much from the food, and it turned out as I anticipated. However, if you can have a normal conversation in English, it might actually be quite interesting. We encountered dolphins, or rather, there was a dolphin show happening around the boat in a certain area of the sea.

During my second visit to the Big Island, I participated in the manta night snorkeling that I had wanted to join for a long time. At first, I was a bit anxious because we couldn't see them, but towards the end, the mantas came multiple times, making it the best day ever! I was truly moved to see that they really exist! The ocean around the Big Island is wonderful! In June, the water wasn't too cold, but the return trip on the rubber boat was uncomfortable and made me feel sick. Also, I arrived by rental car, but I panicked because I couldn't find the landmark sign. Has the sign changed? Please check for the sake of future visitors.

In the past, I watched a program where the hosts discovered and introduced the wonders of a certain world while answering quizzes. I saw footage of former synchronized swimmer Mikako Kotani swimming freely with dolphins, and I dreamed of swimming with dolphins like that. It was truly a happy time when that dream came true!
I was told not to touch them, but the dolphins came so close that it felt like they were about to bump into me. They swam alongside me, followed behind in a group, and suddenly one appeared right beneath me. I had so much fun playing with the dolphins! (*^^*)
The dolphins on the Big Island of Hawaii are said to be friendlier than those on other islands and will come close to you. So, if you're going to do a dolphin swim, I highly recommend the Big Island!
Also, I was lucky enough to see a manta ray! That seemed to be a stroke of luck. The tour guides were also dedicated to helping us find dolphins and ensuring we had a great time.
You can borrow a wetsuit, which is enough to keep you afloat, but if you're feeling anxious, you can also borrow a floating pole (a cylindrical float), so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine. There was even a little boy, about three years old, who was entering the water with the guide's support. (Little ones must wear life jackets.)
When I posted about it on Facebook, someone immediately expressed interest in going, so I recommended this tour. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely participate in this tour again! Thank you so much! (*^^*)
昔、某世界のふしぎを発見・紹介しながら出演者がクイズに答える番組で、元シンクロ選手の小谷実可子さんがイルカと自由に泳いでる映像を観て、イルカと泳ぐことに憧れていました。
あんな風にイルカと泳げたらいいな、と思っていた状況が実現して、本当に幸せな時間でした!
触っちゃいけないと言われてましたが、イルカの方からぶつかりそうなくらい近くまで寄ってきて、横に並んで泳いだり、群れの後ろについて泳いだり、突然イルカが私の下から現れたりして、イルカに遊んでもらえて本当に楽しかったです(*^^*)
ハワイ島のイルカは他の島より人懐っこく、近くまで来てくれるそうです。なので、ドルフィンスイムをするなら、ハワイ島が一番オススメ!!
あと、ラッキーなことにマンタも観れました!それは運が良かったみたいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さんもイルカを探したり、先回りしたり、楽しめるように尽力してくださってました。
ウェットスーツを借りるので、それだけでも十分浮けますが、不安な人はフローティングポール(筒状の浮き具)を借りられるので泳ぎが得意でなくても大丈夫です。3歳くらいの男の子も、ガイドさんに支えてもらいながら海に入ってました。(ちっちゃい子はライフジャケット着用)
Facebookにあげたら、早速行きたい!という人がいたので、ここのツアーをオススメしました。
私達もまたハワイ島に来る時は、このツアーに参加します!
ありがとうございました!(*^^*)

This is a completely English tour, so it might be a bit challenging for those who cannot speak or understand English at all. The helicopter pilot will serve as the guide during the tour, but even if you can't catch everything they say, the views are so amazing that I think you can still enjoy it. Also, just a note, it departs from Hilo International Airport, so be aware of that.
At the time, there was an active volcanic eruption, and we were able to see everything from directly above the eruption to the ocean entry where the lava flows into the sea. Additionally, since there are no windows, you can even feel the heat from the eruption, making it a very exciting experience.
完全に英語のツアーなので、全く英語が喋れない、全く聞き取れない方の参加は少し厳しいかもしれません。ツアー中のヘリのパイロットがガイドをしてくれますが、それが聞き取れなくても景色が素晴らしいので、それはそれで楽しめると思います。また、そんな人はいないかもしれませんが、ヒロ国際空港発ですので注意が必要です。
ちょうど火山が噴火している状況でしたので、噴火しているまさにその上空から、その溶岩が海へ流れ込むオーシャンエントリーまで全てを見ることができました。また、窓が無いので噴火のその熱気まで感じることができ、とてもエキサイティングな体験でした。

I love the ocean, and I have had experiences swimming with turtles and dolphins while snorkeling in various places. Unfortunately, I can't dive because of my hearing issues. However, manta rays don't usually come close to the surface. I had given up on seeing them up close, but on this tour, they kept coming one after another! ♡
We surrounded the light with our snorkeling gear and observed them. It felt more like the manta rays were coming to eat the plankton gathered around the light rather than swimming alongside us. Still, they came so close that I had to dodge them! I could see right into their bellies.
There were probably 6 to 7 manta rays that kept circling around endlessly. I might have been lucky, but I really enjoyed it! You should definitely bring a GoPro. Also, I wasn't cold at all on the boat. However, since many Japanese people are sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to bring a towel or a sweatshirt just in case.
私は海が大好きで、いろいろなところでシュノーケリングをすることで亀やイルカと泳いだ経験はありました。耳が悪いので、ダイビングをすることができません。でも、マンタはなかなか水面までは来てくれません。なので、マンタをまじかで見ることは諦めていましたが、このツアーだと、次から次へと遊びに来てくれます♡
ライトの近くを囲んでシュノーケリルをつけて観察する感じで、一緒に泳ぐというよりは、マンタがライトに集まって来たプランクトンを食べに来てくれるという感じでした。それでも、マンタが自分でぶつかってくるほど近くに来てくれたので、こちらが避けないとならないほどでした。
マンタのお腹の中までよく見えます。
多分6-7枚のマンタがエンドレスで順繰り廻って来てくれる感じでした。運が良かったのかもしれないですが本当に楽しめました!
Go proは絶対持って行くべきです。
あと、船の上では私は全く寒くなかったです。
ただ、日本人は寒がりな人が多いので、タオルを呼びで1枚持って行く、もしくはトレーナーなどを持って行ってもいいのかもしれません。

The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun.

If you want to see the volcano now, there's no choice but to take a helicopter! So I made a last-minute reservation, and it was absolutely the right decision! Since I rarely ride in helicopters, that alone was a thrilling experience. The pilot's explanations are all in English, but if you have some understanding of the history of the volcano, you can grasp it somewhat; I think it's better to have a little background knowledge. I was speechless seeing how the lava flow has engulfed farms and residential areas where people live. I can only hope that the damage does not spread any further... The pilot also explained the ocean entry that started a few days ago, and we circled around the crater multiple times, allowing us to experience the heat and smell of the lava. It was a tour where I felt the immense power of nature and learned about the power of the Big Island.
今、ボルケーノを見るならヘリしかない!って事で急遽申し込みしましたがコレが大正解!普段ヘリに乗る事なんてないので、それだけでもスリリングな体験です。パイロットの説明は全て英語ですが、今までのボルケーノの歴史がある程度分かっていると何となくでも理解出来ます、少し予備知識がある方が良いかと思います。農園そして人々が暮らしている住宅地が溶岩流に飲み込まれている様子に言葉が出ませんでした。これ以上被害が広がらない事を願うばかりです…パイロットは数日前に始まったオーシャンエントリーについても説明して下さいましたし、噴火口の周りは何度も旋回して下さるので溶岩の熱、ニオイも体験出来ます。自然の大きな力を感じ、ハワイ島のパワーを知る事が出来たツアーでした。
